Chest-O-Vision.

The GoPro Chest Mount Harness allows you to capture that elusive view of the action from behind the handlebars. If that's what you're after, mounting your GoPro on your head just won't do. It's made of wide, stretchy webbing with sliding strap adjusters to accommodate anyone from petite to sasquatch-sized. The GoPro HD Hero Camera attaches directly to a mount on the sternum and has up/down adjustability.

used it for 7 straight days while skiing. i loved it. above a ski jacket you dont notice you have it on, and it fits seemlessly between a jacket and a backpack. one clip to take it on and off, and easy to screw/unscrew the camera with gloves on (so you can watch your last run on the next lift ride up, of course...). very happy i got this instead of using the helmet mount (which is actually incl when u buy the camera)

Very solid piece of gear

I've used it several times

I mount my GoPro on my climbing and skiing helmets, but my wife wanted Chesty for Valentines Day for skiing. It's very solidly made and for her, captures her hand and ski position throughout each video. She loves it. I'll stick with the helmet mount--I'm not so tall that the extra few inches makes me hit things, plus Chesty made me sweat my butt off by compressing all my clothing tight to my body. That's a good thing for her (always cold) but not me (always sweaty). Probably worth considering if you run hot like I do.

Great Buy

I've used this for biking, skiing, and trail running, though the best use so far has been downhill biking. I've had the Chesty since my first GoPro and its still holding up. I do find that its somewhat difficult to get it to tighten enough when skiing harder snow, which results in a lot of vibration (even with the shock mount). Add some different perspective to your POV footage!

Best bike POV

Familiarity:

In order to make a GoPro POV shot really work on a bike, you need something in frame for perspective. With this mount, you see the bike, the bars, your arms and hands, plus everything that's going on in the frame. Its one of my favorite and most dynamic GoPro mounts.

Chesty is my favorite mount for MTB

The Chesty is by far my favorite GoPro mount for cycling, especially mountain biking. This was a shot of Miracle Mile in Big Bear. TIP: You can wear the chesty backwards to capture your friends smiles on the bike behind you! Awesome footage when the chesty is mounted on your back!

Unique POV

Familiarity:

Got this as a gift a year or two ago and have used it mostly for skiing, although also for mtn biking, and wake boarding. The gopro cameras themselves are amazing and you can capture an incredibly wide field with their fisheye-like lens. The buckles are fatty, and easy to release even with gloves on. I'm not an extremely wide upper body, but it fits relatively snug over clothing and can be synched up if you want/need it tighter. Probably wouldn't fit well on younger kids though. Only real complaint that I have is that while skiing, it makes it look as if you are 'backseat' (i.e. leaning way back) the whole time. Also had I not received this as a gift, I would have a hard time justifying $40 for such a simple harness.

Looking for a different vantage point

If you are looking for a different vantage point and sick of having the camera on the top of your head this is definitely the way to go. I use it constantly when I inline speed skate and mountain bike. It is a lot of fun and gives another option for overall viewing of your line and overall scenery that is around you.

Used for Mountain Biking and Rafting

It is rather bulky and heavy to carry for mountain biking but I like to mount the GoPro from the chest instead of the helmet. It does take a while to setup and mount it on the chest. Another challenge is to get the right angle of the camera from the chest view.

Great gopro add on

Familiarity:

I've only used this for skiing, but I think it creates an awesome point of view for the viewer. Like Seth said, make them very tight to avoid bumping around. Once I put this on and set it all up correctly I forget there is a camera strapped to my chest. Would recommend.

Comment on Adam Rosenberg's review:

Works for me.

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

It fits well and is easy to take on and off. Have only used for skiing. Make it very tight for best results, some like extensions to get the camera up and more adjustability, but to much and back to bounce cam. Is kind of bulky for storage in pack, but I use small packs.

Comment on Ski Dude's review:

good

Familiarity:

Works good, very adjustable. It is not so comfortable to have an extra layer strapped on your chest, but if you know the type of shots you want, then go for it. Sometimes the camera will bend downwards, so tighten it hard.

Versatile! Versatile!

The chest mount is a necessity for any GoPro owner. First off, helmet shots get old, we all know that. With the chest harness, you can get some variability in your shots. I use this for skiing, and it is a great angle for powder shots as you get that nice spray up onto the camera.

And don't think you can only wear this on your chest. You can wrap it around tons of other stuff, like trees or your dog, to get that perfect shot.

Comment on Brian Mehregan's review:

Create awesome angles

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I used this most while skiing since when biking it doesn't allow for the GoPro to angle up far enough resulting in filming the ground. But after reading a few tutorials, just clip the GoPro in up-side-down that way you can angle the camera up as much as you'd like and when editing the video, just invert the video. Easy fix. Now I use the Chesty almost every time when skiing and mtn biking.

Comment on Eric Brammer's review:

Solid, but has limitations

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

The harness fits well and secures the camera well. However, it doesn't have quite enough range of motion to keep the camera facing forward when seated on a bike. The result is you get great video of the ground, but not enough of the horizon. Need to add an extra link between the camera and mount to improve the range of motion.
